Hi, I have also been diagnosed with stage 2 hers2 positive and am waiting for a date to start chemo , I am terrified and feel like the world has stopped .  I would really like to keep in touch with you and follow your journey . I have a lovely supportive family but do have alot of moments of feeling so alone and that it's only me going through this .  Best wishes  Dawn

Hi Dawn, it's so nice to know I'm not on my own with this, I too feel like my world has come crashing down and I don't have any control over it.  The only control I have is my hair, I'm having it shaved on the 2nd ready for chemo. My family is also lovingly surportive but they don't see me when I quietly brake down and cry and feel so alone,,i would love to be on this journey with you. 

Hi , thank you for replying ,  I have been considering what to do about my hair this morning , I think you are doing the right thing . I don't know about you but the second I wake up I think about it all and that's when I have a meltdown. I do get better as the day goes on but the knot in my stomach remains . I have always been physically and mentally strong but now feel weak and tormented. All of my hospital appointments have been positive but it wears off after a day and the panic sets in . My consultant told me once you start treatment you mentally become stronger ,  I hope so because I want to feel better than this . Good luck on the 3rd , let me know how it goes , I am having a marker put on on that day then should get a start date for the chemo soon after that.  Thanks again for replying . Keep in touch.

My markers are in I have 3, you don't feel it going in as they use anathesetic , for a few seconds I'm fine in a morning but then I'm up and keep myself busy it's took a while to get like that but it works, for a few weeks I thought of nothing else but started my walking again and really does help,, deep breaths Dawn,, we will both get there and kick it in the ***, will stay in touch for sure, stay safe best wishes wendyj 

Yep deep breaths and lots of them . I am having my treatment at xxx hospital no complaints so far , they have me a box of goodies from a charity called little lifts . May I ask if your going for a wig ? 

High five xx on news years eve i took back control for just a moment and shaved my hair off...  i too have a diagnosis of hers positive .. treatment plan of 6 chemo ... surgery and maybe radiotherapy .... 

Hi, I'm so glad to hear you took control,, it's a hard decision to make but when it's done you have controlled the situation, I hope it didn't cause you to much stress and anxiety, it did with me for a while but enjoyed shopping for head wear after,, Iv lost my eye lashes over the past few days ,now that feels weird.

Oh was so emotional whilst my hair fell to the floor but i felt better once it was done .... and then it took a few days before i could look at myself.   I still have my eyebrows and lashes but lost hair every where else ;-/ 

I took my mirror out of my rm and wouldn't look in one for a few days,, I have got used to it now,, quite looking forward to seeing how it will grow back,,, my hairdresser suffers from alapesha and I never knew, her wigs are amazing, when she came to do my hair she took her wig off,, it was such a surreal moment and an amazing thing for her to do
